WW2 Canadian RCAF WAG Wireless Air Gunner Padded Wing

The WW2 Canadian RCAF WAG Wireless Air Gunner Padded Wing is a historical artifact from the time of World War II. Specifically, it belonged to the Royal Canadian Air Force’s Wireless Air Gunners (RCAF WAG), special operatives responsible for both gunnery and radio operations on aircraft. This item is a padded wing, a type of insignia used to denote and identify each crew member’s role on board. Originally stitched on the air crew’s uniform, this badge embodies both Canada’s history and the individual histories of these servicemen. The wing design, crafted with padding to lend it volume, is predicated upon the classic RCAF wing structure, a key feature of these insignia during WWII. It should be appreciated for its historical significance and the unique insight it provides into the bravery and dedication of the wartime RCAF servicemen. As this is an authentic, vintage item, its condition may reflect the passage of time.
